Little Hiatus

[icon_metaphor]

My journal has most definitely been neglected. I've taken up photography and been spending a lot of time in the photolab. In addition, the stuff I've been making at the computer hasn't been icons. So, I think I'm on a little hiatus. And, trust me, this hurts me more than it hurts you -- considering I have a paid account

im curious as to what a photogram is

Thanks so much for your comment! :)

When you print a photo, you put the negative in the enlarger machine, then you put photo paper down and allow light to hit the paper -- this makes the impression of the negative/picture on the paper. With photograms, there is no negative. You arrange objects on photo-paper, allow light to hit the paper, and come back with impressions left from the objects. It's kinda neat if you do it a lot and are creative. I'm not a huge fan, yet, though. :P

Megara, I had some photo-related questions for you. Who's your teacher? And what do you think are the odds of them letting an alumni come back to use the darkroom? I am dying to get back to a darkroom, but for whatever reason cannot find one around here to use, and now that I know someone taking a class, I was wondering if maybe that would increase my chances of them letting me use it...or if I just snuck into the lab with you, hehe.

Haha. I don't think they'd mind. A few people have let their friends come with them, so I don't see anything wrong with it if you actually want to accompany me and casually use the room. ;) I'll just take the blame if you spill fixer. :D My teacher is Jenee Mateer, by the way, she's an adjunct but hoping to get full-time status. She's really nice.

Loves,
Meg

Hey Meg! Just thought I'd drop by to say hey! I miss seeing your art :/ But sabbaticals must be taken at times, I understand. :)

Well, first off I just hope I'm not bothering you. I know some people give the skunk eye at having icon community stuff posted on their personal journals, so I thank you ahead for your patience.

And your not throwing anything at me.

What I wanted to saaay was that I've been trying to get ahold of disney_contest for a while now. It's a community that was made a while back and has been passed onto a couple mods here and there. The last mod poofed and no one else took the reigns. I had to hunt down someone who could make me maintainer.

Now that I have, I'd like to bring it back. Since you seem to like disney communities ... I was hoping you might be interested in checking us out. Even if you're not interested in entering challenges, we could always use new blood for voting purposes and whatnot!

Anyway, thanks again and sorry if I bothered you.
